I can’t remember the timeline when players got offers or was granted a scholarship to better their futures through higher education.

I’m thinking the end of the 70’s or 80’s. The only reason I’m referencing this is not to long ago me and my wife was invited to a wedding at StoneWood Farms which was owned by Steadman Shealy. Had the pleasure of meeting him and a similar discussion took place.

I won’t bore you with the details but as I listen to him talk about today’s college football and the time of his playing career how grateful he was to earn a scholarship and graduate with his law degree from the University.

I’m not sure how much StoneWood Farms is worth but it’s a lot and I’m not sure how wealthy he’s become but I would say very wealthy and very successful as a lawyer. A very humble man and was very grateful for his education and I could see why.

My son was wondering the same thing during the Ford injury when DeBoer was on the field kneeling with a play sheet. I didn’t think much about it because I just assumed he did regularly, but evidently that’s not the case.

13 personnel, QB under center, RB full head of steam, lower the pads and drive forward.

After watching this style of football for 3yrs, it’s pretty obvious it’s not going to work here. DeBoer is way way outta his depth.

Simplify things? He’s already in Simple Jack territory as it is.

I think this is a fitting passage from Robert Paynes book Rome Triumphant: How the empire celebrated its victories. And i think it rings true to where college football is headed and what will happen to elite programs in the future.

For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honour of a triumph. For a whole day, sometimes for many days, the Roman people were presented with a vast and tumultuous parade celebrating the glory of the returning general. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, and the dazed prisoners walked in front of him. In imperial times the conqueror was crowned with a laurel wreath and wore a purple tunic embroidered with palms under a purple toga embroidered with stars. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace-horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown over his head, and whispering in his ear a warning that all glory is fleeting.

I don’t expect KD to criticize Grubb in front of the cameras and I don’t recall Saban doing that as well.

What I do believe right now is behind the scenes is a lot of tension l and the decision at the end of the season that will be made. I don’t see Grubb returning, but not fired more like another job. If DeBoer is serious about keeping his job here and fixing a major problem

Even deeper than that, I don't think Deboer wants "alpha' coaches or they would see him for what he is. Thats why he doesn't want a "Pruitt" on staff because he would call out softness in the coaching staff. Its also one of the reasons he doesn't want Saban's input. Pussies don't want to be around people that expose them

Sounds like a comparison to when Pruitt worked for Richt at uga.

Their friends, good friends and that’s the problem. Grubb doesn’t work for DeBoer, he works alongside him and their offensive philosophy is one and the same.

When your in charge or in a leadership position and you have a close friend that works for you, it makes it extremely difficult to fire that person when it calls for it.

They don’t…. ESPN and their masters control the purse strings now.

There’s no question Bsma’s def kept them from scoring their average of course, Uga wasn’t going to do that. But they killed Bama on long drives in the 2nd half. Just couldn’t get them off the field on 3rd downs.

We all seen with our eyes What happened in that game even when a ESPN former official telling us believe me and not what you see.

I don’t feel to bad about it because we all know in the back of our minds that these things are likely going to happen now until Sankey is removed.

They only lost by 3pts with Uga hitting on all cylinders, Bama offense was sputtering off and on, Defense played well to a degree but struggled also on 3rd downs, and the officiating on four key plays in the game basically said frick you what are you going to do about it. So to lose by 3 with all that I don’t feel to bad about it.
